---

Well, I swallowed my pride;

Decade down on my luck.

I’m on a vendetta: Red robin hood dead ‘em;

“Competitor” - stuck up myself at the register - robbing me - “veteran”

Used to trend set ‘em; Now I just transcend ‘em.

I am a conclusion but I have not ended…

Battery; stuttering, stammering: Non defectum

CHORUS 1

DO NOT FAIL: Non defectum.

I DO NOT FAIL: Follow me.

I

Will say as I

DO

I swear I will

NOT

Faulter or

FAIL

Non Defectum

I

Will say as I

DO

I swear I will

NOT

Faulter or

FAIL

Follow Me

VERSE TWO

We pray to a screen and we worship a phone

To distract from the fact that we’re dying alone…

Wake up

HEY, wake up

HEY, the voice in my head

Said take some offense,

Put your heart in your head,

Make tomorrow non sequitur

Well wishers? Bread winners? Flash in the pan?

BRIDGE

Non defectum. We seize another day.

No question. We seize another day.

Non defectum. Non defectum.

CHORUS 2

DO NOT FAIL: Non defectum.

I DO NOT FAIL: Follow me.

I

Will say as I

DO

I swear I will

NOT

Faulter or

FAIL

Non Defectum

I

Will say as I

DO

I swear I will

NOT

Faulter or

FAIL

Follow Me

OUTRO (CHORUS 3)

DO NOT FAIL: Non defectum.

I DO NOT FAIL: Follow me.

Heart on my sleeve like the sign of the beast.

No longer driven by the money, envy, rat race ending.

Time to live my life.
